Hi guys! My name is Ayo (ah-yo) and I just adopted Mila this past Saturday (aug 27). She actually had just turned 3 months on aug 23rd. I adopted her from a humane society adoption center but they had mentioned that she previously was in foster care? I’m not sure what’s going on with that situation. This is actually my first time owning a pet ever and I have many questions and concerns. I think I’m doing everything right but I’m not sure! Hopefully some of you experienced cat parents can help me out? Mila is very scared of me I believe. She’ll play around me but from a distance she wont come up and sniff me and if i come up to her or near she hisses. I think shes afraid of humans in general but I’m not certain. So far I’ve kept all her things in my bedroom because that’s what people have informed me to do. Her food/water and her litter are on opposing sides of the room and she uses both normally. She plays with all her toys. But it’s me who she doesn’t trust. Or it’s almost like she knows I won’t hurt her but she keeps her distance it’s interesting. Maybe I’m over analyzing lol. She started taking treats from my hand if I reach out and lie still. She’s only really nice to me after dinner so around the times of 8pm-1am. Then in the AM it’s a new process. I also typically try to play squirrel/bird videos during the day or if i think she’s really anxious I play relaxing cat music. How can I get her to trust me or let her know I love her. I try to slow blink at her idk if she understands especially because I wear glasses.
